I am using VB Express 2008, and I am trying to create a COM object to use in Excel. I have looked at the walkthroughs, but it seems they only apply to Visual Studio.
Is there a way to create a COM object in VB Express?
I am using VS .net 2003 and developing a program that calls Excel. The development computer only has Excel 2003, and the target machine only has Excel 2007. Would it be possible to install Excel 12 Object Library in the development computer without installing Excel 2007?
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to upgrade a VB6 app to VB 2008. I have read the article in the tutors corner about automating Excel from VB but I cannot get it to work. Heres what I have done:
1) set a reference to the Microsoft Excel 12.0 Object Library
2) Added "Imports Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel" to the top of the module
3) in a routine I have added: Dim X As New Excel.Application Here's where I get an error: Error 75 'Application' is ambiguous in the namespace 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel'.
I use the following code snippet
Dim exlapp As New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application
Dim xlWorkBook_new As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbook
Dim strOriginal As String
strOriginal = Server.MapPath(Request.ApplicationPath & "/Attachments/") & "abc.xls"
xlWorkBook_new = exlapp.Workbooks.Open(strOriginal)
The code hangs in the last line. It works fine in the development environment. i deployed in windows server 2000 ,where I get this issue. the browser goes half way and throws the below exception after some time

View 1 RepliesBasically I've coded an Excel 2007 project in VB.NET 2010 that allows you to create charts with a fair amount of interactivity. I want the user to be able to save and reopen this workbook and still have that interactivity in any already-created charts, so they don't have to re-create them.
When I create the charts, I use Sheet1.Controls.AddChart(...), which returns a Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Chart with which I can handle events and such. However, when I reopen the file and look through the Sheet1.Controls collection, there are no Chart objects. Accessing the charts through Sheet1.ChartObjects.Chart gives me Interop Charts, when I need the Tools Charts.
I have an object that is defined as a global variable based on custom class. Within that class I have an event that gets fired a certain intervals. These events are fired on the same thread as where the object is declared. How do I create a global object, but have the events within that object fire on a separate thread?

View 7 RepliesI am developing an IT Asset Tracking application using VB 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Express edition. Will I need to create classes to represent objects such as Computers, Printers, Scanners/Faxes, Contracts, Purchase Orders etc or are there any other approaches.For example, if I am correct, I will have a class called Computer and its properties will include Make,Model,CPU,Hard Disk,Memory etc. Is this the right approach.
Computers can be split up into Desktop PC's, Servers and Notebooks. Would I have to create separate classes for these as well or would they be ok under the Computer class.Once I create an object from the class, how can I use the object to interact with the SQL db.I am a beginner to VB.NET 2005 therefore I am slowly getting to grips with OOP.
I want to create a class is it where I can do...

For some reason I get "Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A01A8" from the following code only if I open the XLS file outside of the application I'm coding while this code is being ran. Can anyone advise as to what might be occurring and how to fix this? Right now when my application launches I just output a messagebox informing the user not to open Excel while the data is being loaded. I'd like to correct this problem.Another thing is that when I open the XLS file externally after my application loads an instance of the file, it doesn't prompt to open it as read-only.

My company is currently in the process of upgrading from Office 2000 to Office 2010. The upgrade won't take place until October, but I am currently testing it on my PC. I have some applications that reference Microsoft Excel 14.0 Object Library VERSION 1.3.0.0 and export DataGridView results to Excel. Since I upgraded my PC to Office 2010, my version of Microsoft Excel 14.0 Object Library was upgraded to 1.7.0.0. Now, Office 2000 users are having issues when trying to export data. They get the following error:"Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt."I can't debug to find out the issue because I am running Office 2010 and it works perfectly fine for me. Has anyone else encountered this? I think it's happening right around when it starts to save the file.[code]
View 2 RepliesWell, I've searched numerous threads and I'm stumped. Though my VB.net experience is newb status.I'm interacting with Excel Workbooks/worksheets with:
Imports Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel
Now I'm fairly adept with getting data from the excel sheet with no problem.But each and every time I quit my widows form, or execute a new command_button click to repeat an operation, in the task manager, excel.exe then opens up a new instance.Releasing the the Excel COM object seems to offer a bit of head scratching.I realize that you can get your form to activate and retrieve data from whatever spreadsheet has been directed to be opened, but I can't seem to put it back and close it correctly.I have read about the Marshal. release object methods and garbage collection with no luck so far.Do I need to import another liberary that completes this operation? I would asssume this would be taken care of as apart of the:
Imports Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel
close excel instances opened up by my windows form? Somethig like this:
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim xlWorkBook As Excel.Workbook
Dim xlWorkSheet As Excel.Worksheet
[code]....
(so that it is no longer looked at as "read only" when the spread sheet is opened up from directly from excel)As A minor work around, I've teminated it from the task Bar with proc.kill() but this does not help because my ultimate goal is to just simply realease the excel sheet when my windows form is finished getting its data.This following code does not seem to work.
releaseObject(xlApp)
releaseObject(xlWorkBook)
releaseObject(xlWorkSheet)
